Location Planning

FSP Retail

Locating retail outlets to maximise sales and profitability is a fundamental decision for all retail planners. The cost implications of site errors can be enormous and are usually long-term due to the typical structure of leases in the UK.

FSP will ensure your location is one that will work hard for you. Both established and start-up retailers benefit from the consultancy’s location planning service, which identifies concentrations of target shoppers and draws up optimal location strategies. Techniques appropriate to retailers with hundreds of stores are very different from those that work best for smaller retailers, but FSP understands that both require a combination of data analysis and retail insight if they are to supply robust results.

FSP has used these techniques to help prioritise retail development opportunities for many clients, identifying not only the best location but also the nature and strength of likely competition. Use of performance, profitability and affordable rent models on potential sites highlights the level of rent and other costs which are likely to be sustainable within the anticipated turnover range.
